| Summary | 0008800: Ardout crashes when using Alsa MIDI raw devices on Linux 5.14 | ||||
| Description | The new kernel 5.14 brings huge usb audio latency improvements, but when I try to run Ardour on it, Ardour crashes after the session open dialog whenever Alsa MIDI raw devices are enabled. It starts when no MIDI driver or sequencer is chosen. I see this on the console: $ /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/bin/ardour6 Ardour6.9.0 (built using 6.9 and GCC version 6.3.0 20170516) Ardour: [INFO]: Your system is configured to limit Ardour to 1048576 open files Ardour: [INFO]: Loading system configuration file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/etc/system_config Ardour: [INFO]: Loading user configuration file /home/lentferj/.config/ardour6/config Ardour: [INFO]: CPU vendor: GenuineIntel Ardour: [INFO]: CPU brand: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz Ardour: [INFO]: Using SSE optimized routines Ardour: [INFO]: Loading plugin meta data file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/share/plugin_metadata/plugin_tags Ardour: [INFO]: Loading plugin meta data file /home/lentferj/.config/ardour6/plugin_metadata/plugin_tags Ardour: [INFO]: Loading plugin statistics file /home/lentferj/.config/ardour6/plugin_metadata/plugin_stats Cannot xinstall SIGPIPE error handler Ardour: [INFO]: Loading default ui configuration file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/etc/default_ui_config Ardour: [INFO]: Loading user ui configuration file /home/lentferj/.config/ardour6/ui_config Ardour: [INFO]: Loading 452 MIDI patches from /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/share/patchfiles Ardour: [INFO]: Loading color file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/share/themes/dark-ardour.colors Ardour: [INFO]: Loading ui configuration file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/etc/clearlooks.rc Ardour: [INFO]: Loading bindings from /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/etc/ardour.keys Loading ui configuration file /opt/Ardour-6.9.0/etc/clearlooks.rc Found nothing along /home/lentferj/.config/ardour6/templates:/opt/Ardour-6.9.0/share/templates ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:100:(snd_rawmidi_hw_params) SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument ardour-6.9.0: rawmidi.c:268: snd_rawmidi_open_conf: Assertion `err >= 0' failed. Aborted lentferj@ts-d20:~$ watched PID no longer exists - releasing device. This probably isn't an Ardour bug since Bitwig 4.0.1 has the same problem (Audio engine crashes whenever you plugin in a MIDI Keyboard - synth seem to be ok, though), but I am leaving this here, as I don't know where to put it. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Start Ardour, new session, choose Audio Alsa and MIDI Alsa raw devices, start the session. | ||||
| Additional Information | This happens after installing Kernel 5.14. I tried to different versions, the Liquorix kernel and from here: https://github.com/geoffreybennett/scarlett-gen2/releases | ||||

> ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:100:(snd_rawmidi_hw_params) SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument > ardour-6.9.0: rawmidi.c:268: snd_rawmidi_open_conf: Assertion `err >= 0' failed. Those are messages from libasound, alsa-lib [1]. Which version of that library are you using with the 5.14 kernel? PS. I'm running a 5.10 kernel with alsa-lib 1.2.4. Perhaps the 5.14 kernel needs a newer alsa-lib? [1] https://www.alsa-project.org/files/pub/lib/ |

Can you try to directly access it using alsa-tools. e.g. amidi --dump -p hw:1 Replace hw:1 with the MIDI device ID, list devices with `amidi --list-devices` |

Doesn't work either... lentferj@ts-d20:~$ amidi --list-devices Dir Device Name IO hw:2,0,0 Saffire 6USB2.0 MIDI 1 IO hw:3,0,0 Neutron(1) MIDI 1 IO hw:4,0,0 Pulse2 MIDI 1 IO hw:5,0,0 LPK25 MIDI 1 lentferj@ts-d20:~$ amidi --dump -p hw:5 ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:100:(snd_rawmidi_hw_params) SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument amidi: rawmidi.c:268: snd_rawmidi_open_conf: Assertion `err >= 0' failed. Aborted I have the default Debian-Buster libasound install, I think... ii libasound2:amd64 1.1.8-1 amd64 shared library for ALSA applications |

So I compiled alsa-lib and alsa-utils manually (both 1.2.5). Still same problem.... $ which amidi /usr/bin/amidi lentferj@ts-d20:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/amidi -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57064 Sep 19 18:34 /usr/bin/amidi lentferj@ts-d20:~$ ldd /usr/bin/amidi linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc50c9b000) libasound.so.2 => /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 (0x00007f9c97c85000) libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9c97b02000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9c97afd000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9c97adc000) libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9c9791b000) librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x00007f9c97911000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9c97dc0000) lentferj@ts-d20:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Sep 19 18:29 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 -> libasound.so.2.0.0 lentferj@ts-d20:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5242136 Sep 19 18:29 /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 lentferj@ts-d20:~$ uname -a Linux ts-d20 5.14.0 0000021 SMP Mon Aug 30 00:46:47 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux lentferj@ts-d20:~$ amidi -l Dir Device Name IO hw:2,0,0 Saffire 6USB2.0 MIDI 1 IO hw:3,0,0 Neutron(1) MIDI 1 IO hw:4,0,0 Pulse2 MIDI 1 IO hw:5,0,0 LPK25 MIDI 1 lentferj@ts-d20:~$ amidi --dump -p hw:5 ALSA lib rawmidi_hw.c:100:(snd_rawmidi_hw_params) SNDRV_RAWMIDI_IOCTL_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument amidi: rawmidi.c:256: snd_rawmidi_open_conf: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.

I suggest to contact ALSA develpopers about this. https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues https://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel |
|
|
I booted into a 5.10 Kernel, everything works there. Booted back into 5.14... crash. @x42 - yes, will do. |
